I’ve been skiing in the park for a while now, I just never hit too many rails until recently. I’m having trouble doing front side/back side switch while on the rail. I get it about 60% of times, but the other times I land awkwardly and eat it. Any pointers would be awesome!

Are you referring to switch ups or coming onto a rail switch?

For front swaps, first go all the way sideways on the rail (90), scissor, pop and rotate with ur hips and shoulders and u are good. Front swaps are so easy when u learn them. U get them almost every time afterwards.

Thank you! Made it a lot easier when I tried them again tonight.
